Shown here is a stunning 2015 McLaren P1 GTR (100016), 1 of just around 58 total GTR examples believed to have been built, which is out of 438 total examples of the P1 believed to have been built across all variants, including 375 road cars, and 6 LM examples. This car is also 1 of just around 31 cars left in original, track-only, unconverted specifications. This example is finished in a white livery with red stripes and exposed carbon fiber accents, gold wheels, and the interior is equipped with carbon black Alcantara. The P1 was first ever introduced in September of 2012 and was designed by both Robert Melville (McLaren’s former design director) & American/British automobile designer Frank Stephenson. The P1 is considered one of the ‘holy trinity’ hypercars alongside both the LaFerrari & Porsche 918 Spyder. Before actual production, around 21 P1 prototypes were produced, 13 XP cars (experimental prototypes), 5 VP cars (validation prototypes), and 3 PP cars (pre-production units). The P1 also features formula-1 derived features such as an Instant Power Assist System (IPAS) & a Drag Reduction System (DRS). As for this example shown here, it’s much more than just a standard P1, it’s a resurrection of the ‘GTR’ name is celebration of the companies 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans victory. The production-ready variant of the track-focused P1 GTR was first shown at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show and features an 83 horsepower increase of the standard P1. The GTR variant features a race-prepared suspension, a massive fixed rear wing, and an exclusively designed exhaust made of titanium and inconel, plus much more. British automotive company @lanzantelimited offers a service where they convert P1 GTR examples for road use, and a great number of cars have since received the conversion. This particular example was first ever delivered on on the 8th of September in the year 2015, and it’s equipped with the factory track package!
